User Reviews

Strengths: Amazing grip on all surfaces.
Clears very quickly
Hardly no rolling resistance compared to my old Nevgals
Great power transfer, you put the power down and the tyre just digs in and holds it.
Also one of the best braking tyres Iv used to date. No locking up or massive amount of "sliding".

Weaknesses: Rolling resistance on the road is clearly hardwork but thats what you get with all MTB tyres.
Sluggish feel while turning, but again its a massive 2.5inch tyre! So what do you expect?
Did wash out only once on VERY loose gravel but still was predictable enough to control.

Bottom Line:

The trails I ride contain a huge range of different types of surfaces including; hard dry clay, soft forest dirt. As well as tight off-cambers, rolling single-track, short yet steep climbs and fast, twisty and technical downhills. This tyre has lived up to its name and just digs into the dirt. I love it :D

I have been swapping back in forth between the Maxxis 3Cs and Continental Diggas and so far I can tell you that:

The Diggas grip almost as well as the 3Cs on dry tracks.
The Diiggas grip better on loose or wet conditions compared to the 3Cs (my option)

I really want to like these (Digga) tires as they are inexpensive and grip really well, but I pinch flat like a mofo. I use the same amount or more air pressure (28psi - 30psi) as I do with the Maxxis, but I just keep getting flats with the Diggas. I may have gotten a bad set of Diggas, so this weekend I am going to rock a brand new set and start out with 32 psi. If I don’t flat, I will create another post here at MTBR.

Strengths: Good for loose stuff. It's very sturdy and can run low psi without fear of pinch flats. Good straight line tire on hard pack.

Weaknesses: Pushes too much on hard pack.

Bottom Line:

Good tire if riding in loose areas like northstar and such but it pushes too much on hard pack. I went to do a high speed turn the other day and the tire washed out causing me and my bike to suffer damage (derailleur hanger on the bike and a spraind wrist).

This is a review for tubeless version.I only use these tyres for hardcore XC. Not suited for all day hacking. I recommend these for All mountain/freeride/DH. They track very well and instill confidence when railing corners - good grip on edges.

Any vibes ? I'm thinking of moving from Michelin DH24's to the Diggas. Weight saving 200 grams and have heard some good things about them. I need to shed some weight off the bike if I can but don't want to give up traction. Price is all a bit of a whatever.
